Think  of you with pipe  and slippers
Think  of her in bed
Laying  there just watching  telly then think  of me instead
 I'll never  grow so old  and flabby, that  could never be
Don't  marry her,  have me
 Your love  light shines like cardboard
 But your work  shoes are glistening
 She's a PHD  in 'I told  you so'
 You've a knighthood  in 'I'm not listening'
 She'll grab  your Sandra Bullocks  and slowly  raise the knee
Don't  marry her,  have me
 And the Sunday  sun shines down on San Francisco Bay
 And you realise  you can't make it anyway
 You have to wash the car, take the kiddies  to the park,
Don't  marry her,  have me
 Those lovely  Sunday mornings
 With breakfast  brought in bed
 Those blackbirds  look like knitting  needles trying  to peck your head
 Those birds  will peck your soul  out and throw  away the key
Don't  marry her,  have me
 And the kitchen's  always tidy
 The bathroom's  always clean
She's  a diploma in 'just hiding  things', you've a first  in 'low esteem'
 When your socks  smell of angels,  but your life  smells of Brie
Don't  marry her,  have me
 And the Sunday  sun shines down on San Francisco Bay
 And you realise  you can't make it anyway
 You have to wash the car, take the kiddies  to the park,
Don't  marry her,  have me
 And the Sunday  sun shines down on San Francisco Bay
 And you realise  you can't make it anyway
 You have to wash the car, take the kiddies  to the park,
Don't  marry her,  have me
